The concept is the water filled plastic collapses into a teepee shape when half full and makes a mini green house. Later, when the plant gets taller you straighten out the tubes by completely filling them. In theory, it accelerates the growth and season by up to 6 weeks.

I picked up a few to try. I have black cherry, yellow pear, mortgage lifter, black krim, pink brandywine and brandyboy for this years crop.
